What not to miss at Greenbuild Boston: SITES

Feature image: 

Greenbuild is the world’s largest conference and expo dedicated to green building. It is the go-to place for the industry to convene and shape the future of the green building and sustainability movement.

This year, SITES and sustainable landscape design will be featured throughout the conference. Join us in Boston from November 8 to 10 for renowned speakers, engaging sessions, an interactive exhibit hall and valuable networking.

Visit the GBCI booth and Certification Work Zone on the expo floor. Subject matter experts will be on hand throughout the conference for technical help. Get all of your questions about the SITES rating system and SITES AP credential answered, or get help with registering a project.

Also, you can learn more about the synergies between SITES and LEED and how any LEED v4 project can now automatically earn all of the points in the Sustainable SITES credit category in LEED when they achieve SITES v2 Gold certification or higher.
